Join us on our running adventure through the 15 UK National Parks, discovering the Physics of our Great Outdoors

National Parks Projects

Summer time is the perfect time to get outside and explore. Our aim is to identify, measure and report on Science, especially Physics, that we come across during our September Challenge, however, there are already a huge range of science-related projects set up by each of the National Parks. From habitats to erosion, climate change to astronomy, there is plenty to appeal to everyone.

So if you are looking for fun and interesting ideas to fill your time or an extra focus to your visits in the Great Outdoor Doors, it would be well worth taking time to check out the Education and Activity pages of the National Parks websites, using the link below. Enjoy!

About Park Discoverers

During September 2016, fellow Physics teachers, Claire Aspinall and Pam Ellison, have put teaching aside to run an off-road marathon in each of the 15 United Kingdom National Parks. In collaboration with the National Parks, they will spend time collecting information on how the Science curriculum can be brought to life in these special places. Covering a wide range of Physics applications, they are hoping to take measurements during and between their runs, using lightweight equipment. They will be sharing their discoveries through blog posts and tweets, with the aim to educate, inspire and inform others.
